Queuing on the Road and Site Access

To gain admittance to the Reserve at 8am you are required to park in the queue which forms “around the block” from Kerry St (off Dyson Road), onto McKay Ave, then Price St and Beach Rd. If there are any gaps in the queue you can safely move your car into that free space before 7.50am, ensuring the park is legal. Do not attempt to cut into the queue whilst the line is moving.

Stall holders are not permitted to enter the Reserve prior to 8am, unless instructed to do so, and must obey the directions of committee members at all times whilst on the Reserve for safety reasons. All stall sites must be vacated by 1.30pm.

Customers that purchase large objects may access the reserve with their vehicle for pick-up, however, their vehicle must be escorted by a committee member.
